This update has been available for a few weeks now by direct download, but I must say that it has completely fixed all of my issues with the digital cable tuner cards and XBox 360 media center extender issues running at 1080i on my setup.
The system now works flawlessly as any commercially released product should work, but I struggled through a paid beta program from product launch until this update.
